my first and second body transplant wips
hello again. my most run tamiya. got this and another with the intention of getting hold of a different body soon after my frog, as i remembered i enjoyed scale driving more then the speed my frog gave me. rere paj and mtw were just a dream back then, in fact i got two more a few years later that i haven't built yet and were in storage when the jeep mtw reres happened! of courese now i have a wrangler and mtw waiting to build ;) so i have 6 xc chassis, that can all have different hard shells, a little over kill maybe? but i love the scale looks spent a little time as a touareg, but i was never happy, had seen Gozone's body and had hoped to find one some day. lucky for me i found one when i had given up the search. i now have four. i've made another for this in red no decals but no pics yet. hope you like it. any comments welcome as always.
p.s. my mechanic wanted to say hello as well he says all the work on everone elses ride he hasn't even got his g55 into paint :) he's a moody one

Great scale models. That Toureg is a great looking desert racer, the decals are very cool. Look forward to seeing all 6 chassis together

Nice work there my friend, sounds like you like a good XC chassis... !!
Let your mechanic to lay off the burgers he won't fit under the car soon.

Thanks guys, @Primenumber, might be a little while for the line up but will be good. @SRB Bloke lol, nice one bud, he can't fit behind the steering wheel, but he keeps the cars in order and i think he has more say in paint jobs than me!

@ JWeston, I think he had a bit part in a movie i can't remember the name of it sorry. anyone else know? I look out for action figures now and again, he was going to be a driver but didn't have the heart to give him the surgery. somehow it was easy with the grin the paj driver has, mmwwwaahh ha ha

Nice cars and mechanic

thanks guys, all credit has to go to Gozone as when i saw his i knew i had to find one. don't think he had put in the interior though you can hardly see the seats but i know there in there makes me happy. i was going to wait for trail shots of these, but with all the positive comments i'm glad i got them up. i hope you all will like the next pajero shell i've tried to weather it

I too have one of these bodoes! Haven't got around to fitting it yet. I would like to use the interior too. Think i'd swop the wheels on yours though, this would give it a more scale look.
